My belly has really started hurting today. It feels as though I have bashed it really hard all around the button and down the centre from the button down.
I feel as though I have a hole in the front of my belly. The area is red.
Anyone else had this?
I am on preg no2. ds1 was a year old on monday. i suppose my belly didnt need another preg this soon??!!

go and get it checked out if you are worried, but don't the muscles divide during pg anyway?

Try to get an apointment with GP, it is most likely just a stretch not related to the baby inside you but to an activity like carrying something heavy or stretching to get something. It should be fine if you have some rest.

i was thinking of trying to see doc tomorrow.
i didnt get this with preg1.
i read somewhere that certain excercises should be avoided as it can 'split' the muscle leaving your belly looking permanently like a bum!! shocking as the bum i have already is plently large enough- i dont need another!

i got an gonising pain in a line down my stomach the other day when lifting dd, was really severe and felt like a ripping sensation, it lasted all day and although its less now is still there. am 37 weeks with no.2 and dd is 17 months. mentioned it to the doctor at the hospital next day and his exact words were 'its probably just your stomach muscles tearing'. note the use of the word 'just'!
